Actor and model Milind Soman is marrying girlfriend Ankita Konwar next year, according to a report in
SpotboyE which cites a trip the couple made recently to her hometown of Guwahati where Milind met Ankita's parents and also attended her nephew's birthday. Milind and Ankita made some headlines this year because of the reported gap in their ages - Milind is 52, some 20 years older than Ankita whose exact age is not known but who is rumoured to be 26. The difference in their years caused a fair amount of talk on social media some months ago, but it is reportedly not an issue (any longer) with Ankita's parents, according to
SpotboyE.
SpotboyE quotes a source as saying, "Milind timed his visit to coincide with Ankita's nephew's birthday, so he could meet her friends, family and relatives, who were in attendance. Ankita is almost half of Milind's age, the massive age-gap was an issue for Ankita's family but now after having met Milind, they are ready to ignore the age factor."
"Now that the lovebirds have the family's blessings, they will solemnise their relationship in 2018," the source told
SpotboyE. Milind Soman was married to French actress Mylene Jampanoi from 2006 to 2009. They met on the sets of
Valley Of Flowers.
Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar have reportedly been dating for over a year now and they regularly feature in each other's social media posts.

Ankita and Milind recently took off for a trip to Norway, Oslo to celebrate Milind's 52nd birthday. "It
was truly a perfect and unique birthday retreat," Milind told news agency IANS.
Milind Soman has been
trolled for dating Ankita, who is much younger to him but neither of them cares. In fact, this was his cheeky response:
